An estimated 9 million Americans currently suffer from persistent chronic fatigue. In our recent article, The Art of Focus: How to reclaim your mind in the modern world, we alluded to a frightening inflection-point on which we seem to be converging: Whereby the more complex our society becomes, the more brain power is required to participate effectively. But the more we participate, the more we seem to deplete ourselves of this all-important resource. Some of the answers have to do with being more selective with how we balance our engagement with society, social media and all our various technologies. But other factors may lie beyond our behavioral control.

NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) has received a lot of recent attention in the press and among certain scientific communities such as the addiction and integrative medical fields.

Medicine is starting to acknowledge the tight coupling of mind and body, and how thoughts, emotions, and stress can trigger biochemical responses that impact health. Studies into the psycho-neuro-endocrine-immunological level (PNEI) (or mental level) allow us to better understand the pathway that carries signals which trigger specific biophysical actions. Signaling pathways at this level are responsible for the activation of T-cells, B-cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and macrophages – all of which play a critical role in immune function and each individual’s reaction to the presence of certain pathogenic, environmental, or even psycho-emotional triggers. Mounding evidence now exists in this […]

Oil pulling (also known as Karach’s therapy) is an ancient practice that is receiving recent interest due to it becoming an adjunct in people’s oral hygiene and wellness routine.
